Paul, check out this set of louvers made by a Zenith 601 builder.  I
don't know how he did it as I cannot see a weld between the
triangular ends and the louvers.  I am going to write to the builder
to find out more. Perhaps someone on the list can offer insight.
This one is set up to go over a VW Rabbit radiator but no reason that
I can see that a similar one could not be made to fit any situation.
You have to admire the craftsmanship.    Jerry

Cool pardon the pun :)

How come you are not building a 801 instead of a 701?
The 801 will accommodate a rotary. Looks like about the same amount
of work. There is no replacement for HP when it comes to getting
out of a short field at given aircraft weight. A 250 HP  p-port rotary
with a variable pitch prop would give this airplane spectacular
short field take off characteristics. For getting into short fields
you could always drop an anchor attached to a bungee cord :)

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

You are right but bigger, heavier, etc is not the path I want to
follow.  I don't want a 4 place.  However, I am enjoying sheet metal
(I knew I would)  ..Who knows,  this one may not be the last.     Jerry

Do you still have your Tailwind?
